River Golf & Country Club, The

This was my first time playing this course and I enjoyed it. I'm not a low handicap golfer, but I still feel confident in saying that this course is not overly difficult. There's more importance on shot selection than there is on length, as the course is only about 6,300 yards from the tips. Aside from a couple of waterlogged bunkers and some dry patches, the course was in great shape. The pace of play was great as well. I'll definitely be back.

Course was beautiful and in very good shape. The hills and water made the course a little difficult. The only issue was that 2 foursome went off in front of us and were very slow, but would not let anyone through. On the back, the 2 foursome joined together and were playing 8 people together. They had 2 twosomes and my group behind them, waiting maybe 15 minutes on each tee. So the only improvement would be maybe have a ranger checking on rate of play. But all in all a good day and a great course

Fairways and rough are in very good condition. Most of the greens are in good shape but a few are getting some bare spots. This is a really good, challenging course from the back tees......if they would just fix the sand traps ( a mix of clay, dirt, pebbles, etc) and make them consistent, it would be a great course. Can't beat the value on a Hot Deal!

This course needs some tender loving care! Tee boxes need serious work but for the money and the rate of play, it was a good deal.

It has been many years since I played this course and it will be many more before I return. The course is OK but not great and not worth the 45 minute drive. Also, our gas cart didn't run well at all (#10) so we switched to an electric cart at the turn. The front nine is tight and easy to loose balls. The back nine is more wide open but the fairways are not well defined. The tee boxes need some work and hadn't been mowed in a while. The greens are very slow. One thing that is interesting, you don't hit driver on every par 4. We hit fairway wood on several of the short par 4 and even an iron on one. This course does have some character with several dogleg holes. Sandtraps are not maintained. Can't recommend this course to a friend. Really no 19th hole.

I would give this golf course an A+ . Everything on the course was well taken care of.

the course climate feels rather cool although the temp is 92 degree due to wind and shadow.
The course is one of the best that we played.
The staff and pro shop were so kind.
We will definitely visit the course again.

Best price and always good pace of play. Greens are in great condition as well.

I was very surprised by the course layout and conditions. The course is, for me, way out in the middle of nowhere; Bunn, NC. I was feeling adventurous so I traveled 1hr 10 minutes from Durham to try the course out. I have never played the course before so didn't know what to expect. Upon arriving a small best ball tournament was teeing off taking the first 4 holes up, I would eventually tee off as a single behind them. It was very slow behind this group! But I was very please with the conditions of the fairways and greens. There are a few sand traps that have fallen into disrepair and lots of water in them. I'm guessing they'll have those ready for summer play. Some tee boxes were hard pan. But everything else was very playable and surprised by the layout. I'd rate this course fun to play and challenging

The course was closed for several days prior due to snow, although it was wet the greens and fairways were in good shape. Love the layout!

This course is nicely maintained considering the amount of leaves failing. This course is challenging enough for the avid golfer, yet open enough for the occasional golfer.

Very nice and friendly staff, We had great time playing

Fairways were about an inch deep, no roll, almost like hitting out of rough. Greens as smooth as a gravel road. Found two fist sized rocks in one of the bunkers. Even with the discount, it only presented me with an opportunity to injure myself. Thankfully that didn't happen, but constantly having to hit out of 1 inch fairway grass is ridiculous! Will not return to play there and my mother lives across the street!

As a novice golfer, I found the narrow fairways to be challenging. Most holes are protect by hazards. It was a fun but challenging course for first time on it.
The GM is very friendly and they offer several discounts.

This course is not too hard but not easy at the same time. It has alot of sand traps many of which surround the green. The course also has alot of water hazards forcing you to make more accurate shots. Overall it is a good course for the money and I would definitely play again

The fairways were great. But don't hit in the trap. Its like hitting out of the Grand Canyon. Water runoff has decimated those things. There arent too many of them though, so it shouldnt ruin the experience.

Course has good mix of holes that are very easy and some that are challenging.

This is a fine local course but not a place worth traveling to. It's short and tight in many places. The greens are small and were in below average condition.

Front nine tight...back nine is more open. Golf carts not well maintained.

this was a nice course. not real long, but long enough. very open layout with some water. the par 5's are reachable and there is a drivable par 4 with a straight tee shot. very risk reward type course.
